Omg shut the fuck up, we know he’s a hypocrite. Everyone here agrees with you. But this is a much larger issue than one dildo’s genocide denial. You’re effectively muting discussion about ever-more authoritarian western governments unilaterally silencing dissent in favor of your pet soapbox. I’m willing to bet that everyone in this thread is 100% in agreement with you about Cenk but for the love of god please have a sense of priorities.

No, I’m saying we shouldnt listen to a family of millionaires who made their money denying genocide on how bad genocide is…

Finding someone who agrees no genocide is valid, isn’t a tall order.

And speaking out against genocide denial, is never a bad thing

I’m not just going to ignore it because your favorite streamer does it buddy

    Anyway, the UK is picking and choosing which ~~foreigners~~ genocide deniers get to advocate which issues on UK soil in order to foment complicity with a current and ongoing genocide, and apparently you’re in favor of that so you can fuck right off.
    
    I think the difference, is you believe in “good genocide deniers”…
    
    And I think anyone that would deny any genocide is a piece of shit.
    
    Like, if Hasan is “at odds” with his uncles denial of genocide, why is he doing events and travelling with him?
    
    It just doesn’t make logical sense, plenty of people write off closer family for denying genocide without making genocide such a central part of their identy as Hasan.
    
    Some genocides are huge deals to him, some aren’t.
    
    Anyone like that can’t be trusted, they’re not really against genocide as a concept.

  I don’t even sub to Piker but you do know that he is at odds with his uncle over that and other issues, right? He would agree with your stance on the Armentian genocide. He didn’t leave TYT without reason. Anyway, the UK is picking and choosing which foreigners get to advocate which issues on UK soil in order to foment complicity with a current and ongoing genocide, and apparently you’re in favor of that so you can have a very lovely day, thank you (Edited previous removed comment to comply with mod rules on “incivility”).
